Great tutorial, maybe next would be "Move it 2" explaning how to use 
functions to clear an sprite.

I don't see the new version, going from the doc page I get revision 1.2 
and don't even import the sprite module, but maybe it is a cache problem 
with Mozilla.

This one was just in time, when I was thinking about reading all the 
aliens example to see how the sprite module works you make this tut. 
Just great.

    In my opion there are only two things left to do is in the sprite 
module. It needs an rotating sprite, one that you pass one image and it 
uses the transform module to rotate it. Also other types of collision 
detection.
    Also the tuts are needing more colors or something to make the more 
easy on the eyes, they are too much b&w. Maybe some images to help 
explain somethings.(note: I find then very well written and easy to follow)

This will make a very good and easy 1.3 version.
